Some couples also prefer to announce pregnancies once the first trimester is done, as the risk for miscarriage has greatly reduced after the 12-week mark. Still, Melissa and James have not provided any details about the pregnancy and the sex of the baby.

She may also have been dropping hints even before the announcement. In this Instagram photo which was posted a day before the announcement, she called herself “Mama bear.” Her followers may have thought that she was referring to her furry OOTD, but she could have meant that she was carrying a baby already.

While Melissa shared an Instagram photo, so did her husband. The photos may have been taken during the same day. James Chen’s photo showed Melissa holding a set of ultrasound photographs. From the sonogram results, one could guess that Melissa is a few months along, possibly in the second trimester, since the outline of the baby can already be seen.
